X51V SD Specs

[madi123]

a russian programmer by the name of a sport has gotten an sdhc hack working, but i don't think we're allowed to talk about it. looking forward to the 8gb SD cards myself, though.

Actually his name is Football. The fact is that he made SDHC working on the Axim X51v. But he is famous not only for that... :)

Hmmm really. This "situation" on aximsite is really crazy. :hide:

I know what his name is; I just don't want to talk about it if I'm not allowed to, so I'll use odd-ended sports references, heh.

But yeah, SDHC support sounds like the most excellent development.

What really sucks is that the treo 680 seems to support the 8gb sd card sdhc.

why you guys care so much for sdhc... i mean heck... with CF you can get a astonishing (and cheap) 16 gb, add a 4gb sd card and your up to 20 GB...

sounds enough to me :P

space is awlays an issue, yoiu can never have enough... think about it CF can go up to 32GB and SDHC I'm not sure of its limitations, but say thats 32GBs aswell... though I;m sure its more... thats a 64 GB Axim... better than an IPod no?

That doesn't mean it's a software change - the slot itself is probably already SD 2.0 capable as those cameras referenced were all manufactured in the past two years... which is when the standard was finalized, as per the specification sheet I listed; the firmware change is likely there just to allow the camera to use all of what the hardware's capable of doing, much like AKU 3 for Windows Mobile 5 enables WPA2 for WPA2-capable hardware... but isn't likely to make an iPaq h3600 WPA-capable, since it doesn't even have the WiFi hardware in place. This rather like assuming that because a DVD drive was given a firmware change that allows it to read a few more DVD formats, that a CD drive is also capable of reading those DVD formats with a firmware update.

As I noted in that reference straight from the SD Association which defines the SD Standard there are apparently more changes than just software to the SDHC (SD 2.0) standard. I'm starting to be reminded of the people who assume that SanDisk is releasing SD 1.1 4GB cards, just because someone said that SanDisk was doing so, ignoring their press releases and the website.

Edit: Changed the [/url] tag to [/b] to actually bold the text I wanted bolded. SHows me for posting this at like 3AM.

Some people should really keep their mouth shut on topics they have zero clues about.
Do not underestimate hackers.

This place has really degraded since I last visited.
